Who is info rich?

Over the last years, a lot of discussion has happened around information, new technologies and social deployment - together assuming a narrative of information ecology. The North is supposed to be info rich and South info poor. The term 'digital divide' becomes a self evident term.

On the other hand if you look at the debates in bio-diversity and around pharmaceutical industries, it is clear that the rich information ecology is in the South. Bio-diversity, and knowledge around it, is more enmeshed in the lives of thousands of communities all over the so-called South.

A few questions could be asked on this simple fact:
> How come general narratives of info-rich and info-poor do not take this into account?
> How is it that the by-now generalised understanding of property-protection could not protect diversities (e.g. bio) in so many prosperous societies of the planet?
> What forms of social arrangements keep alive diversity amidst neglect, and the onslaught by dominant forms of appropriation?
Why not learn from them?
